My grandfather had 9 children and he migrated from india with poor means. My father was third eldest son .Due to The sudden death of my grandfather, my father left for dubai,stayed there for 12years , sent all money except that was needed for our sustenance, to my grandmother.My older uncles were in no position to financially support there mother or siblings. As all my uncles and aunt got good education and were married off , my grandmother wished my father to return and own the house which was purchased on installments by my grandfather a few months before his death but the 4 yearly installments were paid after that for more than 12 years by money sent by my father. She wanted this as my father had no savings for his own family after a long tenure in middle east , she made this known to her sister in laws and a few other senior members of family . She died before my father could return to pakistan . The property was still half paid for , my father lived for next 12 years or so in middle east , completed the installments and started the paperwork for the transfer of documents to his name from that of my grandmothers . At the time of her death the my uncles and aunt have agreed that her wish was justifed and they had no problems with it but as the papers were completed for transfer a few of them objected that the property belonged to their father ,then mother so it should be distributed among all . My father was not keen to keep it for himself earlier but as they all have agreed on it , he had been counting the property as his own . RIGht now the amount has increased to 6 fold in price . What should he do ? My uncle and aunt claim that since he was out of country and could afford to pay , this does not mean he was the sole heir , which is true but why did they earlier gave the impression that they wanted to honour the wish as she was being just too her son . Should he distribute the money among all , which will be a lot of money actually.
Undoubtedly what your father did of helping his parents and siblings and contributing to the living expenses even though he was overseas and far away from his children was an act of great kindness and a good deed.
From the question it seems that what your father did was to help the family with their living expenses, then he sent money with which this house that is the subject of the dispute was bought.
It may be said that in this case one of the following two scenarios must apply:
Either he sent this money with which the house was bought as an act of kindness to his parents and upholding ties of kinship with his siblings and helping them, voluntarily giving the money that he sent to them. In that case the house is to be included with the estate and is to be divided among all the heirs in accordance with the laws of Allah, because he gave up his wealth by way of giving a gift, so he has no right to take back his gift. And your father will be rewarded abundantly by his Lord.
Al-Bukhaari (2067) and Muslim (2557) narrated from Anas ibn Maalik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever would like his rizq (provision) to be increased and his life to be extended, should uphold the ties of kinship."
Or he was sending this money for them to take whatever they needed, and whatever was left over after spending on his family remained his property, so the house that was bought is the property of the owner of the money, because he is the one who paid its price, and his father and mother acted as deputies for him in transferring this leftover money to buy this house.
In this case it would be better if he had stated clearly to his parents or they had stated clearly to him at the time of purchase that the house was being bought in his name.
However we should advise both parties not to undermine the good relationship between them; your father should not make this a cause of spoiling the acts of kindness that he did for his family and they should not not be harsh with their brother who helped them, spent on them and treated them kindly. Is the reward of good anything but good?
And Allah knows best.

Canadian home sales activity strengthens in July
Statistics released today by The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) show national home sales were up from June to July 2018. Highlights: National home sales rose 1.9% from June to July. Actual (not seasonally adjusted) activity was down 1.3% from July 2017. The number of newly listed homes edged down 1.2% from June to July. The MLS Home Price Index (HPI) in July was up 2.1% year-over-year (y-o-y). The national average sale price edged up 1% y-o-y. National home sales via Canadian MLS Systems rose 1.9% in July 2018, building on increases in each of the two previous months but still running below levels recorded from mid-2013 to the end of last year. Led by the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), more than half of all local housing markets reported an increase sales activity from June to July. Actual (not seasonally adjusted) activity was down 1.3% y-o-y. The result reflects fewer sales in major urban centres in British Columbia and an offsetting improvement in activity in the GTA. This years new stress-test on mortgage applicants continues to weigh on home sales but its effect may be starting to fade slightly in Toronto and nearby markets, said CREA President Barb Sukkau. The degree to which the stress-test continues to sideline home buyers varies depending on location, housing type and price range. All real estate is local, and REALTORSremain your best source for information about sales and listings where you live or might like to in the future, said Sukkau. Improving national home sales activity in recent months obscures significant differences in regional trends for home sales and prices, said Gregory Klump, CREAs Chief Economist. Regardless, rising interest rates and this years stress test on mortgage applicants will likely prove to be difficult hurdles to overcome for many would-be first time and move-up homebuyers, heading into the second half of the year and beyond.
Hacks to slash your car expenses
(NC) When you consider the rising costs of gas and insurance, owning a vehicle can get pricey. Fortunately, these easy tips can help lower how much you spend on your car so theres more room in your budget for other expenses, like groceries and recreation. Increase your fuel economy. Did you know that a small spark plug problem can lead to a big expense? A dirty spark plug can cause a misfire, which wastes fuel and can ultimately harm your engine. To combat this, look for a spark plug thats designed for improved fuel economy, like the those from Fram. Try the Autolite Iridium XP Enhanced Alloy Technology line, which is precisely engineered with a focused ignition point for maximum power, efficiency and life. Get regular tune-ups. When a vehicle is properly tuned, all systems work in harmony, including the fuel, ignition, emission and computer systems. While it can be a hassle getting to regular appointments at your mechanic or dealer, remember that you are investing in the long-term performance of your car, saving you time and money. Regular engine tune-ups bring power and efficiency back to your car, ensuring that its reliable, safe and road-ready. Change your filters. There are many ways to keep your engine in good shape, helping it to last longer. One is checking the air filter every time you have the oil changed, because engine life and durability are directly related to keeping incoming air clean. Its an air filters job to remove contaminants from the air before it goes into the engine, and neglecting this component results in reduced performance. Fram extra guard filters provide premium engine protection and are proven to let in two times less dirt than the average leading standard retail brands. www.newscanada.com

What to WatchWhen these teams met in the Qualification Round, Russia breezed past Team USA. The Cold War is a thing of the past but when Russia and the United States clash, memories of 1980 are inevitably conjured up. Indeed, the Americans will need a "miracle" of their own to beat a fearsome Russian squad this afternoon.
Who to WatchAlexander Radulov, the subject of off-ice drama in his controversial departure from Nashville Predators of the NHL to Ufa in the Kontinental Hockey League. Radulov has represented Russia twice before but saw limited ice. This time, he's a core contributor with three goals and eight points. The same can be said for defenseman Vitali Atyushov. In two previous tournaments, he tallied five assists in 16 games. Here in Berne, Atyushov has two goals and six points. After nearly three disappointing seasons in North America, Alexander Perezhogin returned to Russia, where he now stars on Ufa alongside Radulov. Of course, Ilya Kovalchuk remains the team's offensive leader.
StrengthsWhat has been interesting to watch in the last two years has been the stoicism of Vyacheslav Bykov behind the bench. The coach, his methods and temperament, reflect positively or negatively on a team. Since 2000, Russia has had so many reconfigurations behind the bench, all professing to restore the glory of Russian ice hockey. In several instances, you would be hard-pressed to understand what that meant. Bykov has come in and restored the national team to its proper standing among the elite nations in hockey. His decision to resign his position with CsKA and focus full-time on national team duties means this resurgence could last for some time. At last, coaching is a strength for Team Russia.
GoaltendingRussia has struggled over the years to produce goaltenders that are World Championship caliber. For years, it was Maxim Sokolov who had the starting spot (2001-06). Since 2006, new goaltenders have been given the chance to win a job. Alexander Eremenko has been on the last three World Championship teams. He's proven more than competent, but with Phoenix Coyote netminder Ilya Bryzgalov accepting the chance to return to the national team for the first time since 2000, Eremenko has been relegated to second-string status.
What to WatchThe last time these teams met was at the 2004 IIHF World Championship in the Czech Republic. A third period shorthanded goal by Chris Drury gave the United States a 3-2 win in the Qualification Round. Make of it what you will, but prior to this year's encounter, out of the last three times these teams have met (2000, 2003, 2004), the United States has won twice. If the recent past is any indication, this game promises to be a close affair.
Who to WatchQuietly, Kyle Okposo is earning his stripes with Team USA. Okposo has a goal and three assists in seven games and leads the team in plus/minus at +4. Okposo was drafted seventh overall by the New York Islanders in the 2006 NHL Draft. Okposo starred for the University of Minnesota for almost two seasons before signing with the New York Islanders. In his first full campaign in 2008-09, he scored 18 goals and 39 points in 65 games. Watching Okposo at the NHL level, you can see him getting better and his confidence growing. Okposo has good offensive skills and battles hard in corners and along the boards. He has star potential and could be a perennial 30+ goal scorer.
StrengthsKey veterans. While possessing a group of amazing youngsters, Team USA has veteran leadership that has been important in the success of the squad here at the World Championships. Jason Blake made his debut at the 2000 IIHF World Championship, and from there he's grown into quite a solid citizen in the NHL. Ryan Suter may only be only 24, but he's a veteran of the World Championships. Suter has represented the USA four times and his performance has improved each time. With Russia's forwards swarming around the American net this afternoon, Suter must lead by example in ensuring their scoring chances are low percentage tries.
GoaltendingRobert Esche has represented Team USA at the World Championships three times. In those appearances, they have finished 5th, 4th, and 6th respectively. With a win over Finland in the quarterfinal, the Americans are sure to finish no lower than 4th here in Bern. Against the Finns, Esche faced 20 shots alone in the first period. Esche will likely get the start for Team USA for two reasons. As the most experienced among his peers, Esche has been in big games over the years. Another is that as he plays in the Kontinental Hockey League, Esche would be familiar with many of the shooters on Team Russia.

Lampe, Choi try to lead Red Devils back to a state championship
The Newton-Conover boys' tennis team is looking to repeat their 2010 season and give the program another state title.
The Red Devils finished with a 26-0 record last season, including a 14-0 mark in the Catawba Valley Athletic Conference.
Leading the charge this season will be the doubles team of Hang Lak Choi and Ryan Lampe. The two tennis players were on separate teams in the state championship doubles match.
Choi played with senior Will Huggins, while Lampe played with senior Dillon Cervantez. Choi and Huggins defeated Lampe and Cervantez, 6-3, 6-2, to claim the championship.
After Huggins and Cervantes graduated, Lampe and Choi will be partnered together this season with hopes of a repeat. Choi believes the two will be a formidable combination.
"I've actually played with him a long time," Choi said. "I've played with him since I was a sophomore. We always practice together and we play doubles together. I trust him as my partner. I think me and him can do well together."
The adjustment for Lampe has been fairly smooth.
"Hang and I play United States Tennis Association tournaments together," Lampe said. "So we are pretty used to each other."
Red Devils' head coach Brian Tate believes that not only Choi and Lampe, but the rest of his team are familiar enough with one another that they can work together.
"Most of these guys play with each other year round," Tate said. "They are pretty interchangible. They have been playing in tournaments outside of here for 4-5 years. I could pull names out of a hat and everyone knows each other is is real comfortable with each other."
A point of emphasis early in the season for Tate will be working on the line up, particularly the very end of it.
"Last year, our number five and six were a junior and senior.," Tate said. "I don't think they lost a match all year down there. This year, we have a sophomore and freshman in those spots. So that is our biggest concentration is getting those guys some experience."
Choi believes the early part of the season to sets the tone.
"It is really important," Choi said. "For me, if I do great at the beginning of the season, it carries through the rest of the season. I'm not sure about the other guys, but that is how it is for me."
Tate expects Shelby, Salisbury and Brevard to be challenges along the way and he is already making adjustments to face them in the postseason. His main focus will be doubles matches, which is something his team did not have to win last season in order to advance.
"For us to get back to the state finals again, it is going to be a tougher road this time around," Tate said. "I keep trying to prepare our guys and use your conference matches. We keep working and trying to get better."
As for Lampe and Choi, Tate has confidence in them and others on the team to get back to the same level they were at last season.
"I really expect those two to do well with what they did last year," Tate said. "I expect them to be back in the state finals playing against their teammates again."

Doug was a Pulitzer-prize winning cartoonist, a writer and an all-world iconoclast. He had a dangerous, insidious, hilarious lovely mind. I can't even begin to imagine the fun he'd be having with Barack Obama and, especially, Mitt Romney this year. My thoughts today are with Doug's widow, Melinda, and his son Jackson–and with Kathleen and Pat Conroy and Doug's other true friends.

Medscape looks to fill docs' diabetes-testing gap
The results reported this week by Brown University researchers on the failure of lifestyle interventions to insulate adults with diabetes against heart problems underscored the difficulty of translating such interventions into clinical benefit. Working on the physician side, one medical-education provider has been able to come up with interventions that physicians treating patients with Type 2 diabetes were able to incorporate in the clinic right away.
Medscape saw improvement "in the high single-digits, across the board" for three measures of improvement: ordering of LDL cholesterol and A1C testing, and ordering foot exams, said Jamie DeMaria, PhD, who is VP, education marketing and strategy, for the company.
The activity, sponsored by Eli Lilly, followed the typical three-step process of performance-improvement CME. Physicians uploaded data to determine their baseline testing rates, then were asked to pick from a "menu of interventions," DeMaria said, including original CME content, guidelines and other resources.
Sixty days later, they were prompted to pull data on 10 patients to compare the before-and-after rates. "We had very strong results suggesting that physicians, after going through the interventions, were ordering tests at a significantly higher rate," DeMaria said.
The activity started out with 4,500 physician participants, and about 450 stuck around until the yearlong activity ended earlier this year—a 10% completion rate. Given the time requirements of PI-CME activities, that's somewhat impressive. All of the interventions were mobile-optimized, which may have helped.
DeMaria said the genesis of the activity was a needs assessment Medscape conducted where it identified a gap in A1C, LDL and routine foot exams, "to stay ahead of neuropathy before it becomes more serious and harder to treat." Neuropathy is a type of nerve damage, often brought about by high blood sugar, that can harm nerve fibers in the feet and legs.
If CME interventions can help lower the risk of neuropathy for the 26 million Americans who have diabetes, perhaps such activities could reduce the need for costly medical care later.

*** Daz Devs - Please Read *** Seriously
Alright guys, Daz is a neat app, but lord do you need to fix some things:
* When you see post after post of install issues at some point you have to realize it's NOT just user error.
* Accessing the Decimator plugin ONLY via one specific UI layout? Is that very effecient or user friendly?
* I appreciate you no longer requiring a serial number for every feature (go figure), but I literally cannot find a serial number to USE your application because I apparently downloaded the wrong installer from YOUR web site. Try making your exe's link to one repository.
So can someone please tell me where I can find the serial number to unlock the &**&^% FREE application and start using the content I've paid for if I can somehow figure out how to install it?
Seriously guys, please get your shit together.
BlumBlumShub Posts: 1,100
You spelled &**&*% wrong.
OK, for a start, calm donw, take a deep breath, and realise that the people using the forums are just the same as you. That is forum members who try and help you. In the main DAZ 3D staff do not browse the forums, or of they do it certainly isn't as often or as thoroughly as other forum members do.
So to get a serial number for DS 4.5 Pro. Purchase it through the store http://www.daz3d.com/shop/daz-studio-4-pro
make sure that you are logged into the store, using the login button at top right of the page I have linked to, and then click the Add to Cart button, Go through the purchase process, it is still free, but you need to complete the purchase right through to the acknowledgement that your order has been successful. You do not need to re download this order, but now it is showing in your itemiised order history for all time. You should now be able to see a serial number in you available serial numbers. If it does not appear there instantly it should be there fairly soon.
Devs, please note that hyperlinks inside of images (see enclosed) do nothing. That's not very helpful for users.Post edited by Chohole on

Little hint...you don't HAVE to download it again, unless it is to get the updated version. After the 'purchase' process, the serial will be usable in the already installed app (provided they are the same major version).
Then once you have the serial, open up Studio and then under Help, click on Register Daz Studio...then you'll be able to enter the number.
I have removed the serial number, and the screen shot as well. Serial numbers are unique to each registered user, and should not be displayed in the forum.
Plus as I have said, you are talking to forum members, not to any DAZ 3D devs. Please remember we are trying to help you.Post edited by Chohole on
The image is on the Daz web site. Shouldn't you remove that one too?
Maybe pull out the url inside the image while you're at it.
I'm aware I'm being harsh but again, I'm not the only one experiencing the same issues over and over--try fixing the issues, and then you won't have to have a dictionary of stickies on your forum.
Sometimes being harsh is the only way to get people to realize they're not doing a very good job.
I am sorry, all you are doing by posting this conversation, especially in the New Users Area, is alienating those forum members who may have been willing to try helping you get things sorted out.
I keep trying to tell you that the forums are here for forum members to use, and are rarely used by DAZ 3D staff.
IF you have a problem, then you should file a support ticket.

She has a club and she's not afraid to use it. :P Seriously though ramspeed, the forums are for members, not daz employees, so we can only offer help or support and not change the software. As chohole said, you need to file a support ticket.

The Best Nicki MinajMariah Carey Feud Moments on American Idol's Premiere
The claws were out.
It appeared that the Nicki Minaj - Mariah Carey feud was "definitely not fake" on tonight's premiere of American Idol. The two divas picked at each other from anything from Nicki's British accent to Mariah's beauty lighting to even the cast of Mean Girls, which was rather perfect for the occasion. In the words of Ms. Minaj, "Rrrreowww." And per the preview for tomorrow's Chicago show, the cat fight certainly hasn't been laid to rest. Watch the best moments of tonight's feud straight ahead.

Child Care Providers: Licensing StandardsSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
In the United States, licensing standards for child care centers vary by each individual state. General provisions for licensing address these issues:
- Health and safety requirements
- Ways of dealing with a child's negative behavior
- The number of staff that are needed to safely care for the children
- Training requirements for staff
- Type of equipment needed
- Requirements for daily program
- Types of food services needed for children of different ages
Standards vary widely by each state. And how each state monitors and enforces guidelines also varies greatly.
As part of your research, find out which of your potential child care providers are accredited or are in the process of obtaining accreditation by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), the National Association for Family Child Care (NAFCC), and/or the National After School Association.footnote 1 Accreditation from these organizations helps ensure that a family or group child care center meets basic quality standards, even if your state has lax licensing requirements or enforcement.

New top boss for flash upstart OCZ appears on radar
Eyes are on Ralph Schmitt as he legs it from PLX
A new CEO for flash storage startup OCZ has possibly emerged from the mists: Ralph Schmitt has resigned as chief exec of PCI electronics biz PLX - and he sits on OCZ's board.
OCZ ousted CEO Ryan Petersen last month, on the back of revenue shortfalls and a kerfuffle over a will-they-won't-they acquisition by Seagate. Alex Mei became OCZ's temporary CEO, and a search is underway for a new boss.
Schmitt was appointed CEO and president of PLX in 2008 but has now left. The company, which makes PCIe gear and 10Gb Ethernet tech, is being acquired by electronics outfit IDT, so a change in CEO-ship was expected.
In a canned statement, PLX said: "Schmitt plans to pursue a leadership role at a different company and will stay on the PLX Board of Directors to help with continuity through the expected acquisition of PLX Technology by IDT." David Raun, a senior EVP and general manager, becomes the interim PLX CEO.
A nod is as good as wink to a blind horse. It will be beneficial for OCZ to have a new permanent CEO as fast as possible, and Schmitt looks as though he could hit the ground running. ®

Because I rated something average as average? Oooh, he's a pedo cannibal! Oh look, a headstrong youth has misconceptions about his father and sets himfself up for disappointment! As I said, it's a decent effort, I just don't see what stands out about it. It's like a million other horror stories.

by SilverPhoenix » Tue Jan 17, 2012 9:06 pmSevered #6
When it comes to graphic storytelling medium, one of (if not the hardest) storytelling genres to translate has to be the Horror Genre. From where I sit, the biggest problem isn't the quality of the stories (as there have been many from the past 3 years alone), but the translation of the feeling of sheer and utter fear is harder to bring across on a medium that relies on static pictures instead of moving ones. However, the one that has served the genre well in recent times has been the absolutely strong plot and character driven writing that has severed to make a number of these books transcend the genre to become classics in their own right. Can Severed #6 serve as yet another landmark as this story makes its case for that status? The answer is a very empathetic yes.
Over the past 2 years, Scott Snyder has become one of the fastest rising stars, using his sometimes unbelievable skills to not only tell good stories, but to create worlds that people want to get invested in, something that "Severed" accomplished with me the minute I leaned that it would take place amidst World War I and one of the purest "land of opportunity" periods that the United States ever experienced. In fact, I was so hooked on that part of the premise that the one aspect of the book that disappointed me was the fact that the horror story took so much precedence over the story of traveling over an America where it was easy to erase your past life. However, over the 4 subsequent issues from Issue #1, Snyder and Tuft have been able to not only to sate my appetite for a story across an America where the rules of society are still being written, but have been able to bring the wonder and horrors hidden within that wonder closer together. What makes this particular chapter so special is that both the freedom of the times and the horror aspects finally come together as Jack is finally near his goal. As the pages go along, our main character learns the situation that he finds himself in and how his ambitions may have been manipulated to reach this point. With their goal in their sights, the writers pace this chapter nearly perfectly, as they make every word spoken (and written) leap off the page, with fully fleshed out characters you have truly grown to care about the over the previous 5 Chapters. The end result is not only another win for Scott Snyder, but a growing curiosity to see what Scott Tuft can do on his own.
For as much as I praise Scott Snyder and Scott Tuft's writing and plotting skills, I can say without reservation, that this title wouldn't be anywhere near as strong without the art team that helps to bring the ideas of their writers to life. With this issue being the climax of the story, the art team uses the opportunity to ratchet up the horror atmosphere up to 11. From the cover to the last page, Futaki uses every last drawing of the characters and backgrounds to set the tone and mood this story masterfully portrays. Not to be left to its own devices, Guilhaumond's skillful use of multiple color tones, give each environment its own personality, something that gives the final sequence in this comic the true horror feel that many comics of this type miss, adding yet another layer to an already densely layered work. Finally, the letter work of Fonograpfiks must also be praised, as the font used for the recap and letters page give this book another layer of authenticity that helps to make this book feel like it is from that romantic, adventurous and dangerous era. When all is said and done, there isn't a piece of the art that feels rushed or phoned in, giving this book a polish that I wish more had.
The Final 22 Cents:
Over the past 6 months, "Severed" has proven to be one of my favorite reads. Its stunning visuals, gripping characters and engaging story have helped this experience remain near the top of the pile month in and month out. With only the last chapter to go, I can safely say that every week we get closer to that conclusion is every week my hype for it builds and builds. If you haven't started reading this story yet, do yourself a favor and hunt down the past 5 issues if at all possible so you can partake in the finale next month. If that's not possible, then look for the trade that's sure to come sooner or later. "Severed" will most certainly prove to be worth the money.

Undefeated in South
The Bryant Lady Hornets remained undefeated in the 7A/6A South conference with a sweep of the Lake Hamilton Lady Wolves on Tuesday night at the Bryant gym. The Lady Hornets won 3-0 (25-17, 25-23, 25-14) and didn't have a letdown after their rivalry match against Benton last week
"They played well," Bryant Coach Beth Solomon said. "We had that big game at Benton Thursday night. They came back. I thought they played well. We had some moments that we weren't at our peak."
Those moments, though, were few and far between. Besides a stretch in the second set where Bryant seemed to lose its focus, the Laady Hornets handled the Lady Wolves without much problem. In that second set, which Bryant won by two points, the Lady Hornets were up 13-7 after senior Alyssa Anderson got a set from senior Hannah Rice and spiked it down for the point.
The Lady Wolves would tie it 15-15 after an 8-2 run where the Lady Hornets lost their focus and committed several unforced errors, but went on a 5-2 run of their own helped by Lake Hamilton errors and an ace by sophomore Abby Staton to take a 20-16 lead. Bryant would push it to 24-19 after a Rice kill, but the Lady Wolves went on a 4-0 run to get within a point, but served the ball out to give the game to the Lady Hornets.
"They did (lose focus), but they pulled it back together," Solomon said. "That's what's important. Whenever they play, like they did Thursday night (against Benton), when they have to play hard, hard, hard, they come out and play a different caliber team, they know they don't have to play as hard. We're working on that. That's one of the things we're working on more is finishing. Luckily we have a cushion to use."
Bryant began the first set in a 0-2 hole, but quickly remedied the deficit with a 4-0 run helped by two Rice aces. It was tied at 7-apiece before the Lady Hornets went on a 6-1 run which included senior Courtney Davidson's ace and senior Brooke Howell's kill. Bryant would go up 17-11 after consecutive kills from senior McKenzie Rice and junior Aubree Allen.
With the score 19-15, Hannah Rice made an excellent diving dig near the net to save a point and Lake Hamilton ended up hitting the ball in the net for the Bryant point.
McKenzie Rice and Anderson had a double block for a point to begin the third game which was a prelude to what the set was going to offer. The Lady Hornets would go up 9-3 before Lake Hamilton would fight back to 12-9, but Hannah Rice sandwiched two blocks around a Lady Wolves' point and would finish the set with three solo blocks and an assisted block. Howell would have three kills during a Lady Hornet 6-1 run to end the game.
Hannah Rice had 27 assists to lead the team, had seven digs, four aces and four total blocks. Howell had 11 kills for the team lead, Anderson followed with eight and Davidson had six.
"Thursday night we have Fair (winless) here," Solomon said. "So that will be another one where we really have to make sure we don't play down."
Bryant's junior varsity was also victors against Lake Hamilton's JV. The Lady Hornets won 2-0 (25-23, 25-15). Sophomore Mercedes Dillard had nine assists to lead the team and Allen had four kills, sophomore Rylee Phillips had three, followed by two kills each from sophomore Emily Henson, Dillard, and junior Erica Smith. Smith added two aces, Phillips had six digs for the team lead and sophomore Madison Greeno had five digs.
Hannah has gone on several different visits, several of the girls have. Brooke has been looking at several. She has two or three coaches looking at her right now. She's got one heck of a hit.
It seems to be holding up pretty good. Kenzie not at full force is still better than a lot. So we're fortunate to have her.

I received a letter from Healthy Online Services claiming that I owed 124.95 for "Purity 12"? The letter provided was received from an address located in Scottsdale AZ and claimed that I participated in a no obligation 14-day free trial of "Purity 12" (Whatever That is). The letter further stated that failure to contact within 10 days would be met with negative reporting to the credit reporting agencies, which could negatively affect my credit. BTW Federal Law allows a person 30 days to dispute a debt and I have never ordered anything with a claim of FREE - NO OBLIGATION. (SCAM ALERT)
I explained to ** (who claimed to be a manager) that I never participated in a free trial offer from the Internet, and that I had no idea what "Purity 12" was. I asked him what HEALTHY ONLINE SERVICES was and was told that it is a collection agency to recover debt. I asked him if HEALTHY ONLINE SERVICES had a license to do business as a collection agency. He wouldn't answer that question.
I advised him that I was an attorney and that under the FAIR DEBT COLLECTION ACT, I was requesting proof beyond a reasonable doubt (which does not include my personal information) that their claim was legit. He said because they had my name, phone number, email address and mailing address they felt the claim was legit. (WRONG). I requested their email address so a dispute letter could follow our conversation and was told that they "do not have one, but that they are only a branch of a business that attempts to collect unpaid debt." (THE SCAM AND THE CROOKS BECOME EVEN MORE TRANSPARENT.)
I then advised ** that if any of my personal information was provided to anyone (i.e. collection agency) he and HEALTHY ONLINE SERVICES would become a permanent project of mine in court and that whatever he or the company had gained from committing their SCAM would soon be awarded to me. (HINT: They have already become my project.) After hanging up....I researched HEALTHY ONLINE SERVICES and learned of the many scams they have attempted on a number of innocent individuals. I wonder how many they actually get away with.
BOTTOM LINE: Don't pay them one red cent. You have rights, up to and including suing them for numerous violations of the FAIR DEBT COLLECTION ACT. And **, if you or any of the other associates of HEALTHY ONLINE SERVICES monitors this site your troubles with me have just begun. I vow to each of you that I will see you thrown in jail for computer fraud (to start) or to take all that you have acquired from scamming the innocent. I will ensure that the pain you have caused all is returned 10 fold. That is a promise. NEXT STOP 60 Minutes, who just recently did a story on collection agencies and their illegal practices - wonder what will think about this?
SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA -- I purchased a "free" trial of Colon Cleanse 3000. The only cost to me was in shipping fees. Or so they said. I received the product in a box with no other information - no "terms" no payment forms, no envelopes. I did not see any caveats on the site where I purchased it... I thought I was giving them my credit card info for shipping costs only. I never used the product, in fact I still have the sealed bottle. I ran the ingredient list past a naturopathic physician who told me that the product would make me rather sick and that the process it used would be very uncomfortable, if not painful. She suggested that I do not use it for my safety.
Yesterday, I received a collection letter in the mail, dated March 3, 2010, stating that the provider of these "free" pills wants $133.95 in late fees since I "kept" the "free" bottle, which was they claimed was not really a free sample as stated but rather a 14 day "free" trial - which also wasn't free. Their Customer Service representative said that I was supposed to contact them within 14 days and then return the bottle with unused pills within 30 days of their shipping it to me in the first place. THIS INFORMATION WAS NOT AVAILABLE TO ME WHEN I SIGNED UP FOR THIS "Free Sample".
When I called their "customer service" department at 1-877-537-2434 to find out what this was all about, the "gentleman" on the phone claimed it was not his problem but rather "my problem" that I didn't know about their policy. They would not accept the sealed bottle back - instead he said - "pay now or I will send you to a more aggressive collection agency and ruin your credit".
He did not care that their practices are fraudulent or that I was advised by a medical professional NOT to take it! He instead continued to threaten (blackmail) me by saying that if I didn't send the money immediately he would send me to an aggressive collection agency and ruin my credit. He repeated this more than once.
SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA -- After reading a number of posts on this site, it is very apparent that Healthy Online Services is nothing more than a bunch of criminals perpetuating a scam on numerous innocent individuals.. This is the first thing that must be done. Because the company is based in Scottsdale, AZ, a criminal complaint must be filed against them by everyone whom they have tried to rip off. Now, this would not only include individuals that ever ordered anything from them.
Criminal First: If by somehow they got your personal information and then attempted to extort money from you, they committed a crime. If they contacted you by mail, they also committed mail fraud. 1 count for each time they mailed a letter to you. If they contacted you by e-mail, they committed computer fraud, again 1 count for each contact. If they obtained your name, by some means other than you giving it to them, they have committed identity theft.
If the contact was because you signed up for a 14-day trial offer, which you canceled and they continued to charge you credit card, they committed credit card fraud. Each of these are criminal in nature and should be reported to the Scottsdale, AZ police department 1-480-312-2800 (ask for dispatch).
Civil torts: If you received the "Extortion" Letters and they violated any portion of the FAIR DEBT COLLECTION ACT You can sue them and be awarded for each violation of the act they committed. This would include contact at work, harassing contact, contact before 8 AM and after 9 PM (your time) and use of foul language or threats.
First step though is call the Police Agency who has jurisdiction (Scottsdale, AZ) and file the complaint. Don't let the PD tell you that it is not their jurisdiction, or that it is a civil matter. This is where the crime perpetuated from; therefore it is the proper jurisdiction. The criminal laws violated were listed above. I'll be filing my complaint tonight as soon as I get their mailing address. I am also contacting my local FOX NEWS station to inquire if they would like to do a nationwide investigation concerning this issue.

I am always being told off by i-technologists for quoting Picasso as having said that computers are useless. But I still love his reasoning? "Because they can only give you answers."
Picasso, like AJAXWorld Magazine, liked questions. So we thought we would share with you what some of the world's leading rich Internet application pioneers are thinking may be the next questions that we need to see answered. From that readers can themselves infer where AJAX is headed.
What are the top questions to ask next about AJAX?
Eric Miraglia of Yahoo!
1. (From March'08) How do I calculate the ROI of building my RIA on the iPhone SDK vs using AJAX?
2. How do I assess the performance of my app and decide what to do next to make it faster?
3. When it comes to accessibility, how do I know what's required of me for my rich web apps? Beyond what's required, what makes good business sense?
4. What are the ten most important steps I can take to make sure my rich internet app is secure? What tools are available to help me diagnose whether it's secure?
5. For all the press that they get, are mashups really contributing to the experience of the web?
Douglas Crockford, creator of JSON
I just have one question I'd like answered: How are we to fix the web? AJAX exploits all of the remaining capability of the 1999 browser standards, which were not state of the art even then. Where do we go from here? Will open standards fall to technologically superior proprietary systems?
Coach Wei, founder and CTO of Nexaweb
1. What are people mostly using AJAX for? Enhancing existing website, building a new website, building an application, replacing an old client/server application, etc?
3. Are you using mashup or do you plan to do some mashup, for which kind of project?
4. Which tools (IDE) do people using for AJAX development?
5. Do you still develop web 1.0 style applications, and why?
See next page for predictions from: Google's Christian Schalk, JackBe's John Crupi, Josh Gertzen of the ThinWire AJAX Framework, Kevin Hakman of TIBCO GI, and Andre Charland of Nitobi.
JOIN IN THE DISCUSSION: What would your questions be: please add them here.

|Kurt Cagle 12/26/07 02:43:45 AM EST
There's a growing impedance mismatch between the large scale providers of content and the consumers of that content as we build multiple messaging architectures. How realistically do we resolve this mismatch in such a way that we are able to preserve both flexibility (SOAP), simplicity (Atom) and brevity (JSON), and can we do so without sparking a religious war?

Will the browsers development, unification and standardization give us more possibilities and freedom to sophisticate or simplify our interfaces & APIs?
|Brett Green 12/13/07 01:24:02 PM EST
Do you believe a shift back towards rich desktop apps, which are internet-enabled, will lead away from the need for AJAX-enabled web applications?
|Gabriel Kent 12/12/07 10:57:40 AM EST
If you imagine the a URI is a handle to a given resource -- is the AJAX community pushing to retain the isomorphic relationship between the URI and a given state of a web application as it changes through AJAX interaction?
|Micha? S?aby 12/12/07 04:55:16 AM EST
Are off-line applications for web the right direction? Is Google Gears relevant when more and more devices has 24/7 Internet access?
|Marcio 12/11/07 04:20:08 PM EST
Other questions like: [1] ambiguity in AJAX toolkits, can I match them? how an aspect in Toolkit A can influence toolkit B? The namespaced Web apps becomes now important. It's the same that happened in Browser space, they were different, then become a bit shared, the AJAX toolkits work also may reach a convergence state as we have offline/online caching infra-structure with namespaced events - sandboxed apps in the same page but running each in a given scope.
I think the next stage promises good things for us and the current stage is a mess with good value under it. The exploration of the mashup stack and mashup infra for interoperability is an area to massage.
|WishList 12/09/07 02:22:28 AM EST
If only AJAX could somehow bring us a spam-free internet, now THAT would be a rich future!
|AJAX vs CF 11/15/07 08:28:09 AM EST
While Ajax represents the future, it looks like in Georgia they still have developers working in ColdFusion from Adobe - how come? Here's the link: http://www.dot.state.ga.us/
Development managers need to ask themselves at least these two questions before adopting AJAX on a project. First, will you make up for the time invested in adopting a new technology through increased development speed? And second, will AJAX allow you to offer a more useful application to your users?
|Ahmed ALEM 11/07/07 06:32:56 AM EST
The answer is definitely: Java + XML + XSLT + a new ML, instead of: JavaScript + XML + HTML. But is there any project which take into account all these ideas? Are there any band of developers who are interested in re-inventing a better wheel?
|Answer 11/07/07 06:31:07 AM EST
The next stage of AJAX is Comet.
|mAX kIESELR 11/06/07 10:48:05 AM EST
It was inevitable that someone would use web 2.0 social aspects together with an AJAX interaction layer to create a next generation weblog. As usual it took a seventeen year old to do it. Logahead is everything I've been looking for recently in blogging software. It's PHP, MySQL, AJAX, and has several social features.

Samsung's Galaxy S lineup has yet to arrive in U.S. stores, but it looks like all their devices will be easily rooted thanks to a hack discovered on the international version. Russian developer LeshaK of Samdroid was the first to gain root access on the Galaxy S (i9000) and the community over at XDA-developers has taken his work and ported it to the U.S. versions of the phone.
Gaining root access is as simple as flashing an update.zip file and it has already been confirmed to work on the AT&T Captivate and T-Mobile Vibrant. Only a single modification to the update script is required for each device so this should also work on the Sprint Epic 4G and Verizon Fascinate when they arrive.
Paul O'Brien of Modaco has already created a custom ROM for the international version, but it has yet to be tested on any of the U.S. models. All the Galaxy S devices are nearly identical so future ROMs should be compatible with minor tweaks.
Now that Google has released the source code for Android 2.2 and Samsung released their code for the Galaxy S, it should only be a matter of time before the community has a stock version of Android 2.2 up and running. Given that this phone is coming to all four tier 1 carriers in the U.S. (and a couple regional ones), I expect a sizable development community will support this device.

Will the children currently being held be re-united with their families?
Senator Patrick Leahy warned Americans: "[W]e must not be fooled.We need to ensure that the 2,500 children already separated are promptly reunited with their families." So reported CNN on Wednesday:

We do not know yet how many of these children, scattered across shelters in 17 states, and some separated from their parents by a continent, some too young to speak, can be reunited with their parents. And some of those parents may even have been deported already, though
that is not supposed to happen
. An HHS official told
The New York Times
on Wednesday evening that "more than 2,300 children who have already been separated from their parents under the president's 'zero tolerance' policy will not be immediately reunited with their families while the adults remain in federal custody during their immigration proceedings."

2. Last week, we chronicled the horrific scenes at the border, with children being ripped from their parents' arms. We are sure our readers are aware of the heart-breaking stories. To begin our press recommendations to you this week, however, we want to explain some of the background to the Trump administration's decision. We will explore the thinking that has gone into the separation policy.To begin our press recommendations to you this week, however, we want to explain some of the background to the Trump administration's decision. We will explore the thinking that has gone into the separation policy.
A. For a good summary of the real concerns over immigration , see a piece in FiveThirtyEight by pollster Perry Bacon. Bacon notes that the separation policy is polling badly, with a majority of Americans objecting, including a third of Republicans, which is hardly an endorsement. Clearly the administration's defenses are so outrageous and untrue that they cannot really believe them, at least not officials like Sessions or Neilsen, who know that the law does not require the policy and are unable to defend that position before newly emboldened journalists challenging the lies.a good summary of the real concerns over immigration
So why do it?
a potential driving force behind many of the administration's immigration policies," says Bacon, "one that it largely avoids discussing in public but that ties all these disparate actions together: reducing or at least stopping a pre-Trump spike in the number of immigrants in America." Here are the numbers: "The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that

of Americans, about 44 million people, are foreign-born. Those numbers are up from 2000, when about 11 percent of the population (31 million Americans) were foreign-born.
The undesirable deviations and 90th percentile minimax metrics also use a subset
, however, these scenarios do not cover all regions of this
and are therefore less balanced. The undesirable deviations metric considers regret from the median for scenarios for which values of
) are less than the median, resulting in robustness values that have a higher level of intrinsic risk aversion than those obtained using metrics that used information from all regions of the distribution (Table
Nike Air Max 90 2007 Junior Trainers Blue / Pink / White free shipping fast delivery great deals clearance pictures xAcr7V
). The 90th percentile minimax regret metric corresponds to an even greater level of intrinsic risk aversion, as it is based on a single value that is close to the worst case (90th percentile—see Table exclusive cheap online deals for sale Bullboxer Women's 956507e6l Oxfords Black Black Blck AiiAtf
A categorization of different robustness metrics in accordance with the final robustness metric calculation (
) is given in Table

. As can be seen, for some metrics, such as the maximin, maximax, minimax regret and 90th percentile minimax regret metrics, f ′ ( x i , S ′ ) and R ( x i , S ) are identical (i.e., the robustness metric calculation corresponds to the identity transformation). This is because for these metrics, S ′ consists of a single scenario and there is no need to combine a number of values in order to arrive at a single value of robustness. However, for the remaining metrics, for which S ′ contains at least two values, some sort of transformation is required. Metrics that are based on the mean or sum of f ′ ( x i , S ′ ), such as Laplace's principle of insufficient reason, mean‐variance and undesirable deviations, effectively assign an equal weighting to different scenarios and then suggest that the best decision is the one with the best mean performance, producing an expected value of performance. In contrast, in Hurwicz's optimism‐pessimism rule, the user can select the relative weighting of the two scenarios (low and high levels of risk aversion) considered, as mentioned in Section Nike Men's Air Max 90 Ultra 20 Essential Trainers Blue Paramount Blue/Binary Bluewhite for nice sale online cheap sale new buwuZ
Alternatively, some metrics consider aspects of the variability of
). For example, the mean‐variance metric attempts to balance the mean and variability of the performance of a decision alternative over different scenarios. However, a disadvantage of considering a combination of the mean and variance is that the resultant metric is not always monotonically increasing (Ray et al.,
Nike Men's Air Max 90 Leather Pa LowTop Sneakers White White 111 discount sale online S5Bdjly
). Moreover, when considering variance, good and bad deviations from the mean are treated equally (Takriti Ahmed, 2004 ). The undesirable deviations metric overcomes this limitation, while still providing a measure of variability. Other metrics are focused on different attributes of f ′ ( x i , S ′ ), such as the skewness and kurtosis.
